     Hi, I'm new here!



    I bought a motorcycle last fall and LOVE riding!!!

    But..... I have no friends that ride!!


    Does anyone have ideas on how to find riding buddies in the Tulsa area?
    I receive emails for the downed bikers association meetings but wasn't sure if membership was required to attend.
     

    Maybe any forums, websites, events... I'm open to anything.

    To start off, congratulations on making the plunge. Many want to but only a few do what you have done. I would start off by Googling your area on local Poker Runs. An excellent way of meeting local riders. Facebook too. You look young so your local American Legion is probably out of the question but, you have picked a great place here to start your journey of making new friends and riding. I have a few friends that are girl riders that did just what you have done I will go ask them your question. I will get back to you. Keep the rubber side down till we talk again. What kind of Bike did you get?  http://www.sparksamericacampgrounds.com/  Ask for Tony.

    Welcome from the At-Large member (currently in Terlingua, TX) to the Best Damned Family Friendly Biker site on the entire web. And as others have said before me...look here at the events page for those in your area, go to cycle shops and read their BBs, Ride safe

    Thanks everyone! It took me a few minutes to figure out how to navigate the site, but I did check out the events. There are a few things that I want to check out in the coming months. They have some fun things going on.

    Poker runs!! Didn't think of that. I'll give it a shot.

    @oohdale, I have a Ridley auto glide. It's my first bike. I'm looking now for another but haven't decided what I want next!

    I appreciate your replies!
